It must get very hard though to be in charge of who gets a dog and who doesn't - probably as hard as it is to be turned down and more so - without knowing why (though I Do understand the reasoning for that) ...
I've wondered why they usually don't tell people why they've been turned down so thanks... it makes total sense.
in a way I wish it was easier to place dogs because there ARE great people out there that can provide a good life ....but then again - I understand why they're stringent.
No matter what - It's good to know how many are out there making a difference - it must be a full time job just screening people |
Honestly, I hate that part. I love finding them a great home....it is just that it is an awesome responsibility.
We have a couple of people who review the apps. So many are deleted just at that step. You would be mighty surprised if you saw some of the things people tell us. Mind boggling. One that stands out in my mind (and I do believe the person was serious) was a person who had two other dogs that slept under their mobile home. They went on to say that they provided a nice bed of hay for them.)
I have been bathing pups this evening and Matty was running around barking. I should have known why. He hates storms! I had NO idea it was storming until I read this. DUH
Does not seem so bad here, though. Gotta go check weather.com to see where it is going.
